The Rise of an "Ego"

I commit from this point on to not make anymore commitments, because as sure as night follows day, my commitments to not answer his calls leads to an impromptu visit. He spent a couple of hours this time....thankfully, I was heavily guarded by my colleagues but there were moments when we were left alone and he tried the same kinda stunt like last week. I dodged though, but I am only human.....I gave in on the third try to embrace me, to kiss me, to whisper sweeeet nothings....so gullible I know, but I indulged myself.

He did not leave without pumping me for information about the new administration and the impact on our work and asking why I was so familiar with that guy on Friday. I thought "Que?" was overused so I gave the puzzled look and asked which guy? He shared that clearly I had wasted no time in finding a replacement distraction........I must admit to feeling a bit empowered by his jealousy, though it did dawn on me that being the player he was, he would be aware of the effects of such displays and milk it for all its worth. I explained that I hadn't seen him for a while and I had heard that he had done surgery, so a social hug was in order I thought. "So why did you have to do it when I was waiting for you"...."You were waiting for me?" I answered with as much surprise as I could muster.....In a rear display he told me to stop pissing him off....it was a day for firsts....is he finally loosening up......woohoo.

I went over to him, looked him deep in the eyes and whispered " You know I would never do anything to hurt you....right?" and then I kissed him...a deep lingering tender tongue lashing. When we came up for air I stated that though I ought not to be explaining myself to him, the gentleman was just a friend, a young friend at that, so he should know that I would'nt mess around with a guy under 38......though I knew this guy had always had a thing for me....(after all, he should have known that I don't give out hugs willy nilly)...... I also used the opportunity to indicate that I had assumed he was waiting to see my boss or something else. He was puzzled and I thought.... Yeah, let him deal with that display.

Score one for the ladies, only about 50 more notches to go.
